Full-Stack Software Engineer

About Infoquest

Infoquest is a custom-sourcing expert network connecting leading consulting firms, investors, and corporates with vetted subject-matter experts for primary research.

Headquartered in Beirut, with entities in the UAE and a founding office in Bogotá, we operate a purpose-built expert network platform alongside a growing suite of internal data products that power performance, compliance, and client delivery.

Role Summary

We are looking for a dedicated Full-Stack Engineer to support two key mandates:

• Extend and enhance our expert-network CRM through custom features, workflows, integrations, and interfaces built on the Exlink platform

• Follow Exlink's architecture, coding standards, and review processes
